There are two really interesting 4K monitors just coming on the market at the moment - the NEC PA322UHD-BK-SV 32 Spectraview and the Eizo CG318-4K. The NEC is actually available now - the Eizo will be in the next few weeks. The NEC 32" the Eizo 31.1 inch" - close enough not to matter.
EizoNECBoth high end Adobe RGB monitors with slightly different resolutions. The NEC is UHD and Eizo DCI HD. So thats 3840 x 2160 for the NEC and 4096 x 2160 for the Eizo. Almost a quibble... but not quite as it depends on what you are doing with it.
Both claim 99% for Adobe RGB and both have pretty similar specifications. Except in price - the NEC comes in a shade over $3,000 USD. The Eizo at a wallet busting $5,979 - pretty close to double the NEC. Ouch...
Being in the market for a new 4K Adobe RGB display and looking at these two options is somewhat confusing (at least I have found it so). The Eizo offers roughly 6% increase in resolution over the NEC which if I was interested in editing to the film 4k standard would be appealing - I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make in real world still image editing. Hard to say and quantify. A native resolution of 149 PPI on the Eizo also appeals vs. 140 on the NEC.
In terms of uniformity both will be excellent and frankly its probably going to require them being side by side to see any difference with test charts and possibly no difference in real world usage.
Eizo has a built in calibration device - the NEC needs a puck so is a bit more fiddly.
When making this sort of investment in new hardware I like to take a long term view approach and think through the benefits with the cost being a secondary consideration. But.. with a price difference of double I am leaning pretty heavily toward the NEC. I actually ordered it, and then cancelled it because I was undecided when I read about the new Eizo. Now quite honestly, I feel torn between the two.
I know the Eizo can run at 60Hz on the 2013 Mac Pro at full resolution. Not sure if the NEC can do that or if it needs to run at 30 Hz.
Anyone got any thoughts on either of these monitors for color critical still work? Or, has anyone actually tried either as yet?
